Did you know the most abundant vertebrate on Earth often starts life as a male & transitions to female?

Scientists estimate the number of bristlemouth fish range from hundreds of trillions to quadrillions(!) of individuals. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/30/science/bristlemouth-ocean-deep-sea-cyclothone.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare #science #nature

Have you ever thought about visiting all of the national parks in the U.S. in one epic road trip?

In 2016, data scientist Randy Olson optimized the route of 14,498 miles (23,333 km) which would take 2+ months. He even designed the journey as a circle so you can begin at any point & direction.
